<p>G 025 All England Soccer Game, all passes forward</p><p>Requirements: All players, Full pitch one soccer ball, Split team into two squads one team with bibs on.</p><p>General Scenario: Player can ONLY pass forward, and lose goals (own goal) if the pass is backwards. This game can also be used to encourage overlapping, stress this at the beginning and encourage players to hold the ball and wait for support from overlapping players.</p><p>Play commences: At the kick off.</p><p>Coaching Points In olden day there was only one way to go - forwards. Most junior teams play forwards ONLY soccer, so here is a game to work overlapping players and give players the opportunity to see how foolish it can be to think forwards ONLY. Switch back to normal soccer occasionally on your call, but award goals for players that turn and give good passes back, or if facing away from the goal that they are attacking, lay a ball back (the way they are facing). This game can also be used to encourage overlapping, stress this at the beginning and encourage players to hold the ball and wait for support from overlapping players. Of course play being forwards only also encourages shots on goal - so let players chip, volley or shoot for goal as part of the game. Start with no tackling, then bring in tackling later in the game. The game is normal soccer including dribbling turning etc. only the pass MUST go forwards.</p><p>Note A lot of very young players, and some women players only play forward soccer. They rarely pass back. so here is a fun game to teach players about the disadvantages of this sort of game.</p><p>Developments i. Allow one team to play two touch or normal soccer.</p><p>Note A lot of very young players play forward soccer.
